Corner shop finance we have arranged for our clients

Examples

ASC arranged finance of £275,000 for a family in Birmingham to purchase the freehold of their corner shop. They had previously tried to purchase the corner shop, only for the vendor to pull out of the deal – so when the opportunity became available once more they were delighted that ASC were able to assist them with the purchase.

Another successful deal by ASC! Two brothers were partners in a business. The elder brother wanted to retire, so the younger brother got the help of ASC to refinance the operating village shop premises and buy out his brother.

“I should like to thank you for the swift resolution in this matter - puts the banks to shame!”

T. Palmer

“Without John’s involvement there may not of been any completion or even a good chance of ever getting matters off the ground. The moment John was contacted right up to the completion he had his finger on the pulse. He made the complete process almost enjoyable. John certainly took much of the stress out of the process.”

Harold Grant

“Robert, we just wanted to pass on our thanks for the excellent service you provided recently when arranging a short term business loan for us. This was a big step for us as we have never explored using external finance to help with the cash flow on a large contract as we thought it would be long winded and difficult. How wrong we were! Your knowledge and service was fantastic and we went from initial consultation to money in the bank in just over a week. This has given us the scope to run the large contract we have just won with ease, knowing we can procure materials at much better rates as we can pay up front. We would not hesitate to use you again and will certainly recommend you to others without question”
